What is BOTOX?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary).
BOTOX® Cosmetic is administered by a healthcare professional as a simple, nonsurgical treatment that is injected directly into the muscles between the brows. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines to form between the brows.
BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows and moderate to severe crow’s feet lines in adults.
Botox® injections can enhance your beauty and give you a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance and is Radiance’s most requested service.
Botox is the most popular and fastest growing non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the United States today. More than 11 million people have experienced a Botox treatment with 6% of those being men.
Botox injections improve and soften the appearance of frown lines, laugh lines and crow’s feet with no downtime. Botox reduces the contraction of the muscles around the injection site; and, works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles.
A very small quantity, injected in key muscles, can reduce dynamic wrinkles on the face and neck. You will still be able to frown, smile and look surprised but without the creases and wrinkles. Botox will not dramatically change your facial appearance, or make you look as if you have had “work done.”
